Nero Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Would be nice if there could be consistent use of SHIFT key when scaling object / group of object. Now when scaling group it's SHIFT to ignore aspect ratio while when scaling object it's SHIFT to preserve aspect ratio. If it respects habbit from another piece of software then maybe as option in preferences. When I don't keep in mind if I'm actually scaling group or simple object It's like a loterry to press it or not. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 12, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi Nero, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can change this behaviour going to Affinity Preferences, Tools section, Move Tool Aspect Constrain dropdown. The Automatic (based on selection) option (the default) keeps the proportions of objects that possess an intrinsic aspect ratio - like text and images - without the need to press shift, while for other objects you have to press it. The other two options are self-explanatory: Constrain by default will keep the proportions by default without the need to press ⇧ (shift) unless you want to distort the objects/break ratio; Do not constrain by default will force you to press ⇧ (shift) every time you want to keep the ratio/proportions of the object no matter their type.
